Dutch gameshops are even worse...

[Asq]

Getting some money today... running to the nearest gameshop on town... LOADS of SI-set hanging on the wall... LOADS mind you. I read before I buy (I finally get smart) and all of 'em are US version of SI... ALL of 'em. I run down to one of the salespeople... "yes" he says, "they are indeed". He continues: "Our salesrep ordered these and sent them to every shop in the country... we don't have the Euro version".

Then he suggested I buy the game at amazon.com or amazon.co.uk.

had the same problem at my shop

so lame

they sell mythic's si and goa's daoc

.

i smell revert

 

[niblic3rd]

Buy it from amazon.co.uk they have the europe version i got it sitting next to me.

And because of the stupidity of the Dutch shops, they just ordered truckloads of the US client and therefore are forced to sell ehm at 10 euro's because no-one wants the bloody thing.

Afaik only Dimension plus has a slight chance on getting it on time (one of the better dutch shops imho)

 

[Asq]

Ordered it almost as soon as I got home... at amazon.co.uk. Hopefully it'll be here soon though.

Just got an e-mail from Dimension Plus which said they'd get and send it today.

 

[Wend]

So this makes Dimension Plus the only shop in the Netherlands that actually has SI?

 

[HargloweHyfryd]

Woot! and I have two copies on order from Dimension Plus......

 

[)nick(]

Yep, now let's all pray it arrives tommorow.

[drummer]

is het computerwinkeltje enkel me VISA te betale?

 

[drummer]

BTW ik dacht gezien te hebbe da GAME Mania het op den 21ste zou hebbe .....

 

[Asq]

Toured the northern parts of the Netherlands, totally nothing available at the places I went. How is it possible shops make such an error in ordering the wrong type or not oredering it at all?

Dinsdag hopelijk, en zotezien mis ik niks.. (wijst naar Account Update DOWNAGE)

Nu maar hopen da da daadwerkelijk morgen/overmorgen is opgelost, en ik zit op rozen de rest van de maand

You can look for it in every town in Holland but you'll only find it in shops that import it them selfs.

I called some suppliers, ppl that deliver to shops, and they told me the game isn't out yet for the euro version... So they didn't order it yet. Anyway because the problem is with the suppliers you won't find any in holland.

 

[Asq]

Finally got it by mail yesterday The soothing music from SI land calmed me down straight away.

 

[Tesla Monkor]

Dimension Plus has plenty of copies left when I checked last Monday.
